I have been in love with Dior‘s VIII Grand Bal watch collection since its launch in 2011. «A ball gown must be the one of your dreams, and must also make you a dream-like creature. In my opinion, it is just as important as a suit in a woman’s wardrobe. And so wonderful for morale...», said Christian Dior once.
As a result, in addition to the daytime and cocktail designs, the Dior VIII wardrobe also features evening designs with the “Dior Inversé” calibre, where the functional oscillating weight on the dial is reminiscent of the swirling of a ball gown.
This year, Dior VIII Grand Bal “Plissé soleil” dons new colors for this limited edition. Adorned with the color combination of deep blue sea of the dial with the sea-green of the oscillating weight, nicely contrasting the grey mother-of-pearl pleating, the 36mm model is a timepiece that’s equipped with an automatic movement that is exclusive to the House of Dior, the unique oscillating weight on the ball dial mirrors the hypnotic swirl of a classic Dior gown.
LoL, Sandra
